My girlfriend recently made the switch from DL to MTL.
She was using a .3-.5 coil at about 50-60 watts with 6mg 80vg29pg juice.

She now has about a 1.2 coil at 15 watts but is still using 6mg 80vg20pg juice but not satisfied.

Now I can make any strength or vg pg ratio.... Where is a good place to start for my first batch?

Yes, about double is the standard recommendation. Really though, it can vary based on any number of things, so start off with a small batch in case you need to tinker a bit. You might try dropping the VG a tad too. MTL coils tend to wick slower so thinner juice is often better. Then again, if she isn't already having trouble wicking the 80vg20pg, there's no real need to mess with it.

About double is the standard recommendation. PG is used to increase throat hit or thin eliquid, it will not affect anything nic related, so if she's feeling she needs more nicotine I would definitely try raising it. As she is absorbing far less nicotine per puff in a MTL setup.

You may want to change PG levels, that is entirely separate from nicotine level. If she is "feeling" the difference, then she needs more nic. Period.

IMO, you might want to try maybe a small batch at 9mg nic for starters. It's easy to add more nic if you need to. If you make it stronger and need to dilute it afterwards with more PG & VG if it's too much for her...it will dilute the flavoring, too.

I recently upped my nic from 3mg/ml to 12mg/ml to cut down on my vaping frequency and enable me to go into a restaurant and not feel the need to vape during the meal. 12mg helps, but after about 30 minutes I'm sometimes thinking about vaping again, so I'll sneak a vape and blow it under the table. I'm good for another half hour after a lungful of 12mg.

I vape at 10 watts. If she's vaping at 15 watts and still wanting more nic you might try 18mg. If 18 is too high, she can turn the wattage down to 10 watts and experiment until it's where she wants it. The higher the wattage the more vapor you create and the more nic is in the vape.
